Install and configure the
BEMS-Docs
 cluster

  • Configure the appropriate file-sharing services (for example,
    Microsoft SharePoint
    ) and
    Active Directory
     settings.
  • Configure database replication for the
    BEMS-Docs
     database (
    BEMS-Core
    ) from your primary site to your secondary site. SQL log shipping is recommended. Consult your database administrator for assistance.
  • Make sure that the appropriate network ports are open to allow the
    BEMS-Docs
     servers within your secondary site to communicate with the database,
    Microsoft Exchange Server
     and
    BlackBerry Proxy
     servers in your secondary and primary site.
  1. Install
    BEMS
     on each
    BEMS-Docs
     server at the primary site. Select the
    Docs
     option in each case. Use a new database to create a new cluster dedicated to Docs.
  2. Install
    BEMS
     on each
    BEMS-Docs
     server at the secondary site. Select the
    Docs
     option in each case. Add the servers to the same database that you used in step 1.
  3. At the primary site, in the
    BEMS
     dashboard (
    BEMS
     System Settings >
    BEMS
     Configuration >
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    ), configure one or more
    BlackBerry Proxy
     servers from one or more clusters from the primary site. This list is used only for startup. Make sure that you clear the 'Apply to other nodes in this BEMS cluster' check box. Repeat this step for each
    BEMS-Docs
     instance in the primary site.
  4. At the secondary site, in the
    BEMS
     dashboard (
    BEMS
     System Settings >
    BEMS
     Configuration >
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    ), configure one or more
    BlackBerry Proxy
     servers from one or more clusters from the secondary site. This list is used only for startup. Make sure that you clear the 'Apply to other nodes in this BEMS cluster' check box. Repeat this step for each
    BEMS-Docs
     instance in the secondary site.
  5. Configure the appropriate file-sharing services (for example,
    SharePoint
    ) and
    Active Directory
     settings.
  6. Stop the services on the servers at the secondary site.
  7. In the
    BlackBerry UEM
     management console, in the Default
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     connectivity profile, do the following. Depending on your environment configuration, additional server-side services might be required. For more information about
    BEMS
     services and server-side bindings, see the Additional information. 
    1. Under
      App servers for Feature - Docs Service Entitlement
      , for each of the
      BEMS-Docs
       servers at the primary site, set the
      Priority
       to PRIMARY and set the
      Primary BlackBerry Proxy cluster
       to BPCluster1.
    2. Under
      App servers for Feature - Docs Service Entitlement
      , for each of the
      BEMS-Docs
       servers at the secondary site, set the
      Priority
       to SECONDARY or TERTIARY and set the
      Primary BlackBerry Proxy cluster
       to BPCluster2.
